I'm really interested in these boots but want to know about the stiffness. It says they are for the park so just want to make sure they arent to soft. Thanks

Please Michael Kern,

I'm seriously considering this ski, along with the JJ, and possibly the pontoon (I know it's a bit different then the other two.) You seen to be really stoked on this ski so I'm curious what length you got, I'm looking at either the 188 or 195, and how big are you? Just for refrence, I'm 16, 6 foot anod about 185lb, and I'm looking for a ski that can charge in powder and when it gets chopped up, can take some pretty good sized drops, but is still playful.

Thanks

What is the difference between the tyrolia peak 15 binding and the 4frnt deadbolt 15 binding?

What is the difference between the tyrolia peak 15 binding and the 4frnt deadbolt 15 binding?

I'm looking at this ski for park/no snow/carvin/fuck around day. Seeing if this ski matches what I'm looking for. I'm Also wondering on the size. I was thinking 181 but I don't know. I'm 16, 6 foot, 185lb. I currently ski 179cm obsetheds but those aren't mounted too close to center and I plan on mounting these at around -2.

really solomon vii, you couldn't have come out with that review just one day earlier? I'm 5'11", 165lb and was gona get the 189cm but switched to the 179 at the last second. Ah well, i'll give them a shot before i bitch anymore. where did you mount anyways?

You are totally right willie, i'm going for the obsethed. plus i got a pair of atomic R11 (160cm) from when i used to race GS and a pair of solamon xscream9 (179cm). so i can use those on days where there aint much snow. totaly last thing is if you can suggest a mounting point? also wondering if they ski short or long so 179cm or 189cm? i'm gona go get them tomorrow, pretty f-ing psyched i gotta say. thanx for all your help willie and i can finally say i'm done with the questions

ok, now i'm on mu last one willie-absolutely promiseis the obsethed a heavy ski? wondering if i can take them into the park? and i think you have already answered this but will it rail groomers? does it or the VCT handle hardpack/groomers and crud better? and i'm not looking at the blend but will obsethed carve better then them? oh and will they (the obsetheds) carve better then a pair or 160cm K2 PE's (my old ski)?

Will these pants work for skiing? I want to make sure they aren't too baggy

willie last questions i sware-if i say that enough eventually it will be truedo you know the turn radius and weight for the obsetheds? also which do you like more as an all mountain ski (quiver of one) the obsethed or VCT?-one last comparison

hey again willieso i actually ended up talking to a guy up at whistler about the k2 obsethed (not up there anymore). he was talking something about how they have like no camber and some early rise like you said which helps them with groomers and carving?-think thats what he said. so could you explain to me why the obsethed is able to performe on groomer/carving-didn't quite understand what he was talking about. and how does the flex compare to the VCT and propthet? and u said they were an all mountain ski? also demoed an armada ski-which i think was similar to the ANT-in a 188cm length (they were torn up so i couldnt really tell which ski they were). they felt a little sluggish. i was still able to take them in the mogules and the little bit of chopped up pow (by the way thats pretty much all they got up at blackcombe-its all chopped up and moguley) but they were sluggish and i want to make sure the the VCT and obsethed will be better.-alot of ?

hey willieso i'm up at whistler and i demoed the prophets-prophet 90s actually and they were in the 172cm and were a couple years old. for some reason no one has line skis to demo/rent, and i couldn't find 4frnt anywhere to demo either. so after skiing the prophets i've decided that they are a little too stiff-mabye it's different in the 100s or are they the same stiffness? also i just sunk in like 1 1/2-2 ft of pow, but i assume thats different in the 100. and if i go for the prophets i'm all of a sudden a little hesitent about the 186cm, it seems like maby too intense of a ski and i'll be sacrificing some of thae playfulness that it has in the 179cm-if that makes any sense at all? what do you think? so vct-since i couldn't demo them. could you for the last time give me a comparison beween the prophet 100 and the vct. flex, weight, turns radiud etc. also how they coompare in pow, crud, on groomers, mogles. thanx willie i kno its hell of alot but this is my last question i promi!

hellolooking between these and the 4FRNT VCT for an all mountain/freeride ski. i'm 15 so i only got the moola for one ski. definately an advanced skier. love to charge hard everywhere and rip on groomers and hardpack (groomers are totally pointless unless ur gona rip em hard in my opinion). but being young i love to play in the trees and park. also want a ski that i can feel comfurtable stompin backflips. looking to go 182cm in vct or 183cm in gotama. figure it will it will help me out with park/backcountry jib. any suggestions between the two?-i gotta say the goats look pretty legit tooGRACIAS

could this pack handle skis with a 104mm waist?

hey willie i know i said that that was my last qestion but i have a few last clarifying question. the VCT 182cm will rip on groomer, crud etc. right? and they are a good all mountain ski right? i know i'm just second guessing myself but i'm done after this no matter what, which would you mark as the better all mountain free ride ski, the prophet or the VCT? In your opinion. And I know you said 182cm but just to make sure, 182cm for the VCT right?-thanx again my last one i promise. yeah i've been checkin up on where i ski at crystal mountain and there seems to be about 25 inches at the summit. not alot but hey its better then nothing. looks like it might be a slow winter up here :(

-williethank you so much for all your help i would be so lost with out it. thanks again-henry

-willielast questions. first by damp you mean what? and will the 182cm VCT do as well on groomers/crud and at high speeds as the 189? but i take it both sizes will perform better on groomers/crud then a pair of 160 public enemies right (they chattered like crazy)? on my old public enemies and im not saying i did this alot but if i was feeling extra brave and found a landing with good amount of pow (cuz about 50% of the time i ate shit) i would ofton be tempted to throw down a back flip or something. wondering how much the extra weight (especially the VCT and its stiffer flex) is gona affect my ability do stuff like that and spins like a 360 or 540. which reminds me if im not mistaken the VCT isnt a full twintip, how much will that along with its more plank like shape affect riding landing witch? also was thinking of the marker jester for the helix, think it would be a good binding for the VCT? also what do you know about 4frnt bindings?

Hi again willie. it seems like evry time you answer a question of mine it gives me another. so i was wondering if you could quickly tell me which ski (helix of VCT) performes better on groomers, crud, and ice? which is better in pow and between trees and which is more of a free ride ski? also wondering which one is lighter and wondering which is the softest?

-for willieI believe I have finally narrowed it down. The prophet 100 and scott p4 are both out. I've been checkin VCT and i'm liking what i see. both it and the liberty helix seem more like freestyle skis. I think I've got the helix down. It's light, poppie, great in pow and you can bring it in the trees. But it also handles well on groomers, crude etc. and high speeds. So I'm wondering again how the VCT stands next to helix. it seems like a slightly lighter ski and how it is as an all mountain ski and weather it can be a quiver of one like the helix? Also curious how boht handle park and clifs? O and i was looking at the salomon gun and do you think u could compare it to the skis above. looks like its a greate off piste pow ski. wondering how it does on groomers, crud etc. and in park. i knoe this is alot of questions so whatever you get to i really apprecitae. -sorry if im getting on your nerves w/all these ?

hey willie its me again i was all set on the liberty helix when i spotted these. how do the two compare?-thanx alot

also if anyone has actually hike with this pack carrying skis id love to know how it went

how does the diagonal ski cary work? also would it fit a ski that is 135mm/105mm/122mm? im looking aat this and the stash rider pack. anyone know how that carrys skis? i know its advertised for snowborads.

how will this pack work carrying skis? i know theres just a plain old stash pack with a diagonal ski carry but im liking this stash rider alot. i read the review of the guy sayign that the horizontal straps are easy to use

how does it do carrying larger skis? say 135mm/105mm/122mm. also does it have enough room for a bladder and then like a little snack and a small video camera. also does it have a sleeve for your water tube on the shoulder strap?

how does this pack do carrying larder skis? say 135mm/105mm/122mm

can this pack carry fatter skis? say 135mm/105mm/122mm waist

what kind of carrying system for skis does this have? A-frame, diagonal etc. Also how is the back support?

what kind of carrying system for skis does this have? A-frame, diagonal etc. Also how is the back support?

i saw the review above and the guy saying that it is anoying to carry fatties on this backpack. i have the libery helix 105mm waist. would the same go for them, is this pack to small to carry them?

I can't decide weather to get the 16L of the 20L. is there really that much of a difference? also is there much of a difference in weight?

how long are they?

willie this is the last question I'm ever going to ask. How much will I notice the 105mm waist on groomers, crud etc.? My last ski was a 90mm and so I thought going to the prophet 100 was pretty big so how about 105mm?-last question i swear

is it more or less stiff then the prophet, and will i notice the the extra 5mm at the waist compared to the prophet 100? also where do you suggest i mount? still going with the jester and planning on getting the 187cm. oh yeah and how do they do skiing backwards and landing backwards (noticed they have a slightly skinier tail...)? wow it seems like im never out of quesitons... speaking of which just to clarify, definately an all mountain ski?-your the best willie

guess what willie, i've found another ski to look at. im really liking the helix. it seems like a softer more playful ski than the prophet, also lighter (bout 250g). thing is im wondering if they are gona hold up as well on groomers, crud etc. and at high speeds. also turn radius mean much? 18.9m 100 to 25.5m helix. i'ver narrowed it down to this and the prophet.

so i was pretty much set on the line prophet 100 and then i noticed the kung fujas. seems like a little softer, lighter ski then the prophet. really want to be able to go all mountain on which ever ski i get. so whats the comparison between the 100 and the kung fujas? really apreciate it guys

how does this binding handle high speeds?

willie this is one last question for you - i think i've about decided on the 186 prophet 100. so now its all about the binding. a couple of people i know have suggested the marker griffon and jester and i'm wondering what you think about those two bindings? I know you like the PX 14 but the marker seems a bit lighter. weird thing is as far as i can tell the jester doesn't come in a 100mm brake. for a reminder im 6'11" 165. So i know i've asked this questiona about 10 time already but 186 a good length?

anyone know if they have changes the toe piece on the STH? - I heard it use to have some problems

for willie - i'm 5'11" about 170 and i consider myself an advanced/agressive skier. the thing is i'm only 15 and i'm definately not done growing. my question is weather the 186cm is to big for me?

how do these work in park?-willie if you get this ? i'm sorry

I'm looking to put these or the dynastar PX 14 on a pair of line prophet 100, probably 186cm. What do you guys think?

I want to ski these as an all mountain ski, but I would like to land drops backwards and ski backwards. Also maby the ocational trio into the park. Any suggestion on where to mount. I'm thinking of either the salomon STH 14 of Dynastar PX 14 for a binding. This migh be a very stupid question but is there any difference between the look PX 14 and the dunastar PX 14?

any suggentions on where to mount? I'd like to use them as an all mountain ski, and I would like to be able to ski the park a little bit.

Thanks WIllie i really appreciate it. I'm 5' 11" 170, how about the 183cm for me? Also, any suggestions on bindings? Also I don't really pay attention to weight that often, is 4322g pretty heavy (I think thats around 9 something Lbs)?

I'm wondering how the blend handles high speeds and weather I would be able to lay down carves on them?

As far as I can tell the Mantra seems like a ski that you can really lay down some carves on and can handle speed. But I'm curious how it handles in pow, and weather it can be taken through the park? Also Is it a full twin tip?

One more question, and I really appreciate all the help guys. I'm definately not a park junky but I do ocationally like to take a couple of laps through the park. So how do the 100 hold up in the park? Also really how much better are the Blends in the park? Also if anyone has a suggestion for bindings for both the blends and 100 it would be apreciated?

Okay so I'm really caught right now between the blends and the prophet 100, I live in Washington and besides a couple trips yearly to Canada that where I ski. Needless to say we never get dumped on. What are the pros and cons of each ski and any suggestions on which one I should get? Also how about the prophet 90?

I live out in Washington and where I go skiing we never really get hit with tons of pow, so I guess what I'm wondering is how does this ski hold up in groomers and ice? Also I was wondering if it is a full twin tip?

I'm 5'11" about 170, and I definately think of myself as an advanced skier, would the 186cm be to big for me?

I am currently skiing the line blends in a 90mm waist. I live up in washington where there isn't much pow, so I guess what I'm asking is how does the 09 lines in the 100mm waist hold up in groomers? Also I'm 5'11" 170 would the 183cm work for me?

Another question, I'm 5' 11'' 170, do you think the 184 cm are a good size for me?

How is this ski in groomers?

I'm 5' 11'' about 170 and I'm wondering if the 185 cm would be to big for me? Right now I'm skiing the line blends (179 cm).
